An usual cause of allocation failures is corrupt data structures in the
heap. Probably you are accessing a pointer after freeing it, or
accessing a dynamic array out of its bounds.

These kind of errors disappear and reappear randomly, because they may
depend on previous contents of the memory. I can't be 100% sure, but I
bet your problem is this and not one related to the SDL library (anyway,
you are just using a record allocation there, not a library function).
